Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A259565
a(1) = 1, for n > 1 a(n) = smallest number not already in the sequence such that the arithmetic mean of two neighboring terms is a squarefree number.

COMMENTS
A259605(n) = (a(n) + a(n+1)) / 2;
conjecture: sequence is a permutation of the odd numbers;
a(A259570(n)) = 2*n-1.
